C5m/F5m Quick Setup and Getting Started Guide 2

Model CFT-004

Getting Started with the Motion

C5m/F5m Tablet PC

Power on and off

Press the power button at the top right side of the

C5m/F5m Tablet PC.

You can shut down your tablet from Windows

. Tap

the Start menu then tap Shut down. If Windows doesn’t

respond, force the tablet to shut down by pressing the

power button for about ve seconds.

Sleep

Place your C5m/F5m in Sleep mode when you go away

for a short period of time to conserve battery power.

When you return, the Tablet PC quickly resumes activ-

ity and your desktop is the same as you left it.

To put the Tablet PC in Sleep mode, press and release

the power button. To wake up the tablet from Sleep

mode, press the power button again.

Note The power button blinks when the tablet is in

Sleep mode.

Locking and unlocking

To lock and unlock your C5m/F5m, press the Security

button on the right side of the Tablet PC.

Using the pen

An important difference between traditional PCs and

Tablet PCs is that you frequently use a digitizer pen

instead of a mouse and keyboard. The C5m/F5m pen

has a pressure-sensitive tip, eraser, and a function

button. Pressing the function button is equivalent to

right-clicking a mouse.

Using touch

Your C5m/F5m is equipped with 10-nger touch,

which means you can use your ngers to select items

and open les, zoom in and out, scroll through brows-

er windows and documents, and more.

Touch works like a mouse. Tap to select an item and

double-tap to open it.

tip To open a right-click menu using touch, press

your nger on the display until a circle

appears, then lift your nger and the shortcut

menu appears.

If you nd that the touchscreen doesn’t respond as

you expect, or if the tablet starts to respond to un-

intentional touch input, you can ne-tune touch by

resetting the touch system to its optimal state. To start

the application, open Motion Dashboard, then tap Pen

& Tablet, and then tap Touch Settings.

Checking battery power

You can check the remaining battery power in your C5m/F5m by:

• Opening Motion Dashboard, tapping Power, and viewing the value beside Remaining Charge.

• From the Windows Notication area, tap the power indicator, which changes appearance depending

on whether the Tablet PC is plugged in or running on battery.

– If the Tablet PC is plugged in, tap the plug icon.

– If it is on battery power, tap the battery icon.

When the tablet is plugged in, the lights on the gauge indicate the battery’s current level of charge—

from one amber light (less than 25% charged) to four green lights (between 75% and 100% charged).

Four green lights The battery is between 75% and

100% charged.

Three green lights The battery is between 50% and

75% charged.

Two green lights The battery is between 25% and

50% charged.

One green light The battery is less than 25%

charged.

Flashing amber light The battery is low.

Battery tips

• Use AC power when available. When the C5m/F5m is plugged in, the battery charges while in use.

• Put your Tablet PC in Sleep mode when you’re not using it.

• Stop unnecessary background applications and processes.

• When not in use, use Motion Dashboard to disable wireless adapters. Tap Wireless and clear the

checkbox beside the wireless device you want to disable.

• Set the brightness of the display to automatically dim after a selected number of minutes of inac-

tivity using the Motion Dashboard Display category. Tap Display and select the idle time from the

drop-down list beside To extend battery life, dim display after.

• When using mobile broadband, reduce how often the C5m/F5m updates email and other Internet

applications to once every half hour or longer.

• Disable mobile broadband when you know a signal is unavailable.

• Condition your battery once a month. To condition it, run the Tablet PC on battery power until the

battery’s charge level drops below 20%.
